Oh, hello there. I trust you are well. Are you doing anything on the evening of October 20th? Is it important? I thought not. Instead, why not come to Preston's Continental and watch me 'read' at Spooky Soup, a special Halloween-themed edition of Word Soup? I'll be 'performing' something called 'Zombie, He Wrote', the title of which I owe to almost-complete-stranger Alexander Green and which I'm modestly referring to as 'a white-knuckle multimedia assault on your senses'. Also on the bill will be Big Finish Doctor Who writer Rob Shearman and horror-writing actual national treasure Ramsey Campbell.
As a way of saying sorry for having to those of you who attend for having to pay (£3) to sit through the experience of witnessing my hunched and puke-inducingly hideous form shake its way through a croaky-voiced reading of puerile jokes and a lot of awkward moments of silence whilst waiting for laughs that won't come, there will also be free - yes, free! - bookmarks. Each one individually handmade by me. Also, there may - may - be badges. No, I don't love you. It's all part of my community service. If you don't come, I'll come into your home and kill you.

I can't come. But I also won't be at home for you to kill me. Just wanted to let you know and save you the wasted journey.
ReplyDeleteFear not, Dave! My lucky hammer and I will await your return at your house. Please leave instructions on how to use your central heating, your tv remote controls somewhere clearly visible and some biscuits in the kitchen. Fox's Creme Crunch, ideally. Hmmm, delicious. Thank you!
